A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you You taught us love and how to fight You gave us strength; you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another Not just as a wife not just as a mother. For all of us you gave your best And now the time has come for you to rest. So, go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts we’ll eternally keep. In Loving Memory Of Beverly Mae Davis November 4, 1942~May 24, 2019

You are in our thoughts – very sorry for your loss
I just heard that Bev passed. I am so sorry to hear the news. Over the years whenever I called or dropped into the office Bev was always there with a smile and her view on the world. I always appreciated her honesty, frankness, and sense of humor. She will be truly missed!

I am thinking of you during this difficult time. May God comfort you in the days ahead as Romans 15:5 says he supplies comfort and endurance. My deepest sympathies to the family of Beverly. I am so sorry for your loss.
